POSTIE AND PRIEST TEAM WINS A RALLY



“The rally reminded me that you can lose touch with people who don’t go to
church…I think Christians need to spend time with others who think differently
and with people who disagree. The Church is not meant to be a club of people who
all think the same and agree — it’s meant to be a voice that proclaims hope and
justice,” says Bishop Sarah Plowman

MY LITURGICAL ORGANIST JOURNEY



“It would be remiss of me not to mention how the organist actually has a certain
amount of opportunity to express a sense of humour. Examples of this include the
time when I heard an improvisation unmistakably including the theme tune to
Wallace and Gromit or when the postlude for the Feast of the Assumption was
‘Hooray and up she rises’,” says The Rev’d Dr Gemma Dashwood OAM
